Really coming along nice trying to get established in case I am called away for work or anything else over summer ideally these ladies will continue getting fed as long is there given clean balance water I’m going to hit em heavy with seabird guano at flower, probably crank up the molasses on that end, really just properly letting water sit oxygenated mixing and letting solutions hit microbial levels that put the real work in, I’m hitting with a nute I’m making myself 3 times a week at point all water is being carbon filter dechlorinated the aerated then to casting or mycorrhizae brews that I rotate my mycorrhizae brew is Bigfoot water soluble and dechlorinated water except I do more then recommended ok on the each time. Results are stunning my cover are dense earthy and rich bio smells tons of spiders and other good predators a large toad made a home in the clover also he must be chowing cause he’s healthy. I will be making a drive and coming back with a bunch of nutes I’m picking up out of state as well as some Carolina mantis cocoon I’m staying up on pest this year. I’m steady rotating neem bt since birth I’m not fucking around this time. Crank up concentration slowly but hitting light preventative pest spraying at least twice per week as it get warmer I’m gonna be in a constant panic about the stupid moths. Plants drink a lot of water already and technically my outdoor season has not begun for most around me till Mother’s Day. I’m already 11 weeks deep. Cages are rough on leaves but I’m not to worried about the ladies are Strong a week of cages they Wii all be locked hugging there cage in place. Something in particular that’s rather stunning is the leaf quality health of all strains, it’s def what I’m doing with the soil. it appears that microbiological forces at work influences aspects of the plants of which results I’d yet to receive. The greenness and the crisp leaf sound when the leaf’s brush against something. Getting REALLY Excited about things! near perfect start. My big healthy wendigo not the cripple is def a top perform when I comes to sheer mass that is because that plant is super definitely tallest sitting at about 2ft. They are topping and splitting real well, black phoenix v2 isn’t performing to my expectations so far, though it’s new branches that coming in will be game changer come solstice. So we are now over month and a half left of healthy veg and flower stretch on these, all things willing I’m betting three these size ration looking for. (12ft or bust) Hoku seems to be great seeds for people trying to do outdoor for quantity. Mind you I have yet to see the flower this is mere speculation from what I’m witnessing of its veg time. The gluey c99 though.. that plants a straight beauty. Short but kicking perfectly shaped little sativa shaped hybrid leafs this plant took to topping perf one the best veg ladies I’ve ever had In this garden so far. Not the tallest but a stunner none the less. The snow jokez are really going for the gain lane too both are topped real well but one particular was my earliest successful top I was able to establish clean two cola fresh off the rip. Perfect fork Excited if these end up becoming trees all these stems and tops are gonna be bursting out the seams. Really want to find something cool to make our massive outdoor cannabis stem knots into one of days if anyone seen any thing cool holler fs. So I did not anticipate the plants flowering so quickly and will be monitoring the situation in the case I need to remove small flowers with a nice top on everything going two weeks or so into may. Got small bud sites developing on every plant.

Do-Si-dos auto has grew well. She has a strong fruity, citrus aroma. Smells really good. The colas didn't get super big, but looked to be very frosty and dense. This is my first time trying this famous strain. It looks like it will be really good. I never had any huge issues during the grow. I also didn't juice her with nutes like I normally do to others in flowering. I am curious to test the results once I get her processed. Thank you Zamnesia seeds, Athena, and Medic Grow. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱❄️ Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Start of week 4, Plants are starting their flowerdevelopment, defoiliation worked out pretty good, plants already started to fill out the gaps. expecting a full tent towards the end of the week. Performing a dryback in the autopot system for the next 48h to stimulate the plant and get rid of excess salts in the medium. the Clayballs really keep alot of moisture and it takes a while untill they stop providing water to the coco. UPDATE DAY 25: My new rotatable KingBrite 480W Led Samsung LM301H EVO Osr 660nm 730nm Full Spectrum Led Grow Bar Light arrived and got installed. Upgrade from 300w to 480w!

The orange 🍊 sherbet germinated really easily,,and took off ,,,apart from my sexy fingers breaking a couple branches early on in the grow,,she recovered quickly and was still able to produce a respectable harvest of flower,,,I did enjoy growing this strain,,and I look forward to smoking some of her ,,,for sure

This week I had a few days of rain, which caused a slight increase in humidity and temperature. Despite that, everything is going perfectly and the plant continues to develop without any issues 🌸💪

Ok had to start flowering this week because of overall height now I see I should have got a taller tent but oh well. Started 12 on 10th I believe also moved some wires around and got a few more inches out of the light so I'm at 19 and 20 inches from lamp can't get no more unless I move exhaust fan light is now 75% started feeding terpinator its supposed to increase taste we will see later on also gave first dose cal mag I think I was borderline calcium deficiency plants really looked good after cal mag also feed unsulfered blackstrap molasses half dose tiger bloom and full dose open sesame cutting down on my nitrogen a little. To bad I can't smell shit right now been sick past few days probably got covid for real. The one branch on my one plant has an extra thick stem on it and at top extra leaves coming out guess its a mutant from to much nitrogen unless someone else know what it is overall it's been an ok week can't wait for the next few just hope I don't get to tall

I dumped the water and added new today with nutrients. Two plants are looking really healthy. I'll focus on these now and let the others slowly grow on the side. The one I transplanted late is dead. Will update more as it develops. UPDATE: Largest plant is drooping a lot. I'm assuming the auto-waterer over-watered again. Avoid this flower pot. I emptied the water and am letting it dry out a bit before watering again. UPDATE: The auto-waterer soaked the large plant. I've poked holes in the medium and lowered the light to just above the plants to hopefully help dry it out quickly. Also have a fan on it. UPDATE: The plant dried out enough that it's looking healthy again. Yay!

On day 1 the rez is at 6.2. The highest cola is 8.5" from the light. On day 2 the rez is at 6.2. The highest cola is 7.75" from the light. On day 3 the rez is at 6.1. The highest cola is 7.5" from the light. On day 4 the rez is at 6.3. The highest cola is 7.125" from the light. On day 5 the plants are smelling and doing well. On day 6 I changed out the rez and PH to 6.1. The highest cola is 7" from grow light stretch is deff slowing down and should be over shortly. My avg PPFD at canopy is around 800. On day 7 the rez ph is 6.0. The highest cola is still 7" away from light 😅 close but not too close in my small space.

Well here we are with the most happiest part of growing marijuana is harvest time!!!! Good Evening Ladies and Gents, as most of you have followed ots been a pretty damn good year for cannabis growers and myself, well I seen to think so lol. In my diary I have shown 1 plant of the Zsweet Insanity..... but truth be told I had 2 more in the grou nd somewhere else. Wait until you see the picks 👀 The strain is amazing! All three ended up about 4 feet Tolland about 4 feet wide. The massive collas were everywhere. You'll see in the pics above. It stinks sooooooo bad and is frosty AF! The Sweet taste of Lemon and deisel and a woody spice on the way out. Its clearly remarkable this strain! Check it out! The best part is I weight 3/4 of a pound dry 👀 Woooooooooooohooooooooooo!!!!! Hope you enjoyed the diary!!!! 🌱🔥🤤

This week was great again ... Maybe even a little but too hot but nevertheless all plants are growing well and didn't show any signs of heat stress! ☀️☀️ I'm pretty happy with the development and looking forward to next week hopefully there is some rain this week because I can't water them until next Friday...🌧️🌧️ Thanks to Royal Queen Seeds for the nice genetics! 💚💚 Stay tuned and Keep Growing everyone! ☀️🌱

So excited to start a Mephisto grow! I will update once they sprout out of the ground. I soaked them in Ph water for 12 -24 hours. I then put a paper towel in a zip lock and pour the ph water and seed in between paper towel. Put it in a dark warm closet on top of a heating pad on low and usually and wait until the babies pop. Once popped they go into the super soil i prep for them in a 5 gall cloth pot

It training this week going to let he go do her thang. Light was a little to close so I raise it some

🌱 Folder 09 | Candy Rain Auto Week 1 – Finding Her Rhythm Welcome to the first chapter of Candy Rain Auto in the 8×8 Adventure. Unlike many of her neighbors, Candy Rain didn’t have the easiest start. She entered the room a few days later than the rest of the project, immediately placing herself at a slight disadvantage on paper. But plants don’t read calendars, and every phenotype writes its own story. The purpose of the 8×8 Adventure has always been exactly this: documenting every individual plant honestly, allowing each genetic to express itself naturally under identical conditions. There are no races here. Every plant is given the same opportunity to demonstrate what it is capable of. Already during this first week, Candy Rain is proving that patience is often rewarded. While initially producing only simple juvenile leaves, she quickly transitioned into healthy three-finger leaves, with each new set arriving larger, wider and noticeably more vigorous than the last. The journey has only just begun. ⸻ 🌿 Grow Environment The entire room remains carefully controlled to provide every cultivar with the same stable environment. Environmental Conditions * 🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C * 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C * 💧 Relative Humidity: 55% * 🌱 Substrate Temperature: 21°C * 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 20°C * ⚡ EC: 1.3 * pH: 6.0 * 💨 CO₂: 666 ppm * 💡 Light Cycle: 12 / 12 From Seed * ? Pot Size: 15 Litres Because Candy Rain emerged slightly later than the rest of the room, irrigation has been adjusted specifically to her needs. Rather than following the volume given to the larger plants, watering remains concentrated around the young root zone, encouraging the roots to actively search through the substrate while avoiding unnecessary saturation. ⸻ 🌿 Nutrition Candy Rain is receiving exactly the same Plagron Terra program as the rest of the garden, simply scaled appropriately for her stage of development. Feeding Schedule * Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L * Power Roots — 1 ml/L * Pure Zym — 1 ml/L * Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L * pH Plus — adjusted when necessary * Lemon Kick — adjusted when necessary The objective during these first weeks isn’t rapid top growth—it’s establishing a healthy root system capable of supporting explosive development once flowering begins. A strong foundation always pays dividends later. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development Watching this week’s progression has been incredibly satisfying. The earliest photographs show a delicate young seedling still carrying its juvenile characteristics. By the end of the week, however, the transformation is obvious. The stem has thickened considerably. Leaf spacing has become more symmetrical. The newest growth appears increasingly vigorous. Most encouraging of all is the transition into beautifully formed three-finger leaves, signalling that the plant has fully entered active vegetative development. Each new node displays noticeably more energy than the previous one, suggesting that the initial establishment period is already behind her. Despite being the smallest plant in the room, she doesn’t appear weak. Quite the opposite—she appears determined. ⸻ 📸 Behind This Week’s Photos Sometimes the smallest plants create the most rewarding photographs. The early overhead images capture a tiny seedling standing almost alone within a large container, emphasizing just how much potential still lies beneath the surface. As the week progresses, every photograph tells a different story. The side profiles reveal a stem becoming stronger each day, while the overhead shots beautifully document the increasing symmetry of the canopy. One of my favorite moments is seeing those first fully developed three-finger leaves spreading confidently across the frame. They’re small, but perfectly formed, and they represent the moment where Candy Rain truly begins her journey. Macro photography reminds us that growth doesn’t always happen dramatically. Sometimes the biggest victories are measured in millimetres. ⸻ 🌿 Looking Forward Next week should be particularly exciting. With the root system now becoming established, I expect noticeably faster vertical growth, larger fan leaves and shorter intervals between new nodes. The gap separating Candy Rain from the rest of the room should gradually begin to shrink. Autos often surprise us with sudden bursts of development once they settle into their final containers, and there are already signs that she may be preparing for exactly that. Her story isn’t about catching up. It’s about revealing what she’s capable of. ⸻ 💚 Thank You As always, thank you to every single person following this adventure. Whether you’ve been here since day one or you’ve only just discovered this diary, your encouragement, feedback and conversations are what make documenting every week so rewarding. This project isn’t simply about growing plants—it’s about learning together, sharing experiences and celebrating every stage of the journey. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from all over the world can learn from one another and document their passion. My sincere thanks also go to Plagron for providing the Terra nutrient line that is powering this entire 8×8 Adventure. Their products continue to deliver consistency, simplicity and reliability throughout every stage of growth. Finally, thank you to the incredible breeders whose genetics make projects like this possible. Every seed carries its own personality, and watching those differences unfold under identical conditions is one of the most fascinating parts of this journey. And of course… Growers Love and, Thank you for taking the time to follow along. One week at a time. One photograph at a time. One plant at a time. The 8×8 Adventure is only just getting started. 🌱💚

Girls are doing well....seed looking like she earning her name..have some cutting off her n am please with the first week of flower....one got super stress n she dont even look like it jus watchin to see how things look later

Giorno 42 🍋

Still no flowers, foliar calmag, silicate, proroots. Still problems with Calcium. Matterhorn is unstable genetics!

The plant has grown a lot since last week and I'm starting to struggle with LST because of the numerous leaves that I don't find very important. So I want to do some research about defoliation which didn't interest me at first since it's high stress but I think it will be needed here.

Today i removed the big bottom leaves and also at the whole plant inside to get a better airflow. Bud producing starts.. Smells already in my tent.. Edit: 1 day after defol she starts to pray very heavy, how cool!!
